Sounds like the kind of psychological torture corporate behemoths like to routinely play with their employees and consumers.Thadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13776842321547777703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-74275058113305230152013-05-05T22:20:22.943-04:002013-05-05T22:20:22.943-04:00Actually, Pete, the video was deleted voluntarily ...Actually, Pete, the video was deleted voluntarily by the uploader. (Judging by how many Disney cartoons and WHOLE MOVIES are on YouTube at any given time, they seem ignorant of how to file a copyright claim.)<br /><br />It seems Eric Goldberg and the school where he lectured were getting a lot of flak from Disney for this getting recorded and posted online. Apparently word got around very fast that Disney would likely not be sending anyone else to the school in the future because of this violation, and the student was pressured by his peers to take it down.<br /><br />Further proof that in this age people must be afraid of anything they say or show in a semi-public forum might end up online. Pretty lame all around, but them&#39;s the conditions that prevail...Thadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13776842321547777703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-3900975319379316762013-05-04T13:54:13.034-04:002013-05-04T13:54:13.034-04:00From what someone mentioned on Thad&#39;s Facebook...From what someone mentioned on Thad&#39;s Facebook page, apparently Disney has now forced the removal of that wonderful animated clip.

I just wish that Disney would see the obvious audience appeal in fun, hand-drawn, personality driven character animation.

I am convinced that there is still a huge audience for fun, hand-drawn animation, free of the constraints of emulating live action film and unsupported by CG automatons beneath the pencil lines. (Yeah, I&#39;m referring to the animated taxidermy that is &quot;Paper Man&quot;). But, no, instead Bob Iger has decided that the Disney legacy of expressive hand drawn animation is no longer to be created for the big screen. And before all the animation fans out there suggest that drawn animation is still alive and well in other countries and studios other than Disney, well, you really just don&#39;t seem to understand that it&#39;s just not the same thing as what I&#39;m talking about. A Ghibli film may show competent figure drawing but it is not full, expressive CHARACTER animation in the tradition that Disney pioneered and evolved into one of the most entertaining of American style filmmaking. I am only interested in the caricatured, personality driven &quot;animated cartoon&quot;. Take &quot;cartoon&quot; out of the equation and animation pretty much leaves me cold.Pete Emsliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.com
